EU: Jean-Claude Juncker delivered his state of the union speech yesterday

Meanwhile the elected MEPs forced every year to listen to his nonsense have little say in how he behaves or the decisions he takes.

Yesterday he gave full vent to his federalist dogma, outlining plans for further integration of the bloc and saying that Britain will "regret" voting for Brexit.

As is so often the case, Juncker could hardly be more wrong. Not least because while it continues to have such an unappealing figurehead we will want as little as possible to do with the Brussels regime.
